On Point of Oversight
Off STIFF exhibition/ Rijeka Capital of Culture 2020

The Point of Oversight looks into the society in which we live in relation to the ubiquity of technology and algorithms that shape our daily lives, opening a new perspective on the familiar, moving out of comfort and pointing out how private experience is political, placing the common in focus.
Seeking an independent view, free from manipulation, we wonder how can we see beyond the ideology which we live in? Oversight, referring both to surveillance and eye-lapse, thinks over a system in which error has the potential of resistance.

Algoritmi oblikuju naša mjesta udobnosti - sigurne prostore u kojima se dobacujemo vlastitim odrazom i stvaramo utočište od sve kompleksnije realnosti globalnih odnosa. Druga strana ove ‘pogodbe’ sveprisutni je nadzor koji amplificira nelagodu kojoj pokušavamo umaći. Tehnologija može biti alat za mučenje, sredstvo samodiscipliniranja, iznenadni napad panike ali i sredstvo otpora, utopijski prostor. Kako s njom pregovaramo, kako joj umičemo ili je prigrljujemo, koliko je ona pasivni produžetak naših infantilnih želja ili sredstvo emancipacije i promjene, kako intimno tako i na nivou zajednice?
